Interesting facts about Oil& Gas in 2017.
Global M&A in the sector sits just shy of record levels in the first eight months of 2017, with 611 deals worth a total of $194.9bn.
The activity is clearly led by the US, where 250 transactions worth $113.9bn have been agreed, according to data from Dealogic (see img below)
And that's where the next big deal could come from: Anglo Australian mining company BHP Billiton disclosed yesterday that its US shale business was on the block, bowing to months of pressure from Elliot hedge fund.
Anyway, is going to be a good year for M&A in general: According to Backer McKenzie cross border M&A data, value and quantity of deals rose from last year.
